It was supposed to be more of a writing thing and less of a bitching and moaning thing.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #31 on:** Aug 26, 2010, 08:57:51 PM »

That's what the LJ is for :-D

Fiero · « **Reply #32 on:** Aug 27, 2010, 04:37:05 PM »

Well, I deleted all that bullshit and started over. Only two posts, but it feels good to be writing again.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #33 on:** Aug 31, 2010, 12:17:16 AM »

We'll see how long you can keep it up for.

That sounded differently in my head

Fiero · « **Reply #34 on:** Aug 31, 2010, 12:45:26 AM »

It sounded great in mine. Yeah, I am probably going to try once a week.

What was that name of that thing you had a conversation with in one of your old entries? I wanted to go chat with it.

Fiero · « **Reply #36 on:** Aug 31, 2010, 02:37:17 AM »

Ah, someone actually read something!

Clever Bot

old and full of memes.

Fiero · « **Reply #38 on:** Aug 31, 2010, 06:45:23 PM »

Quite so.

"
User: Millhouse.

Cleverbot: Millhouse is a meme.

User: Millhouse is not a meme.

Cleverbot: Yes it is.

User: Millhouse is not a meme.

Cleverbot: Millhouse is not a meme is a meme?

Cleverbot: I need a cup of tea.

User: What kind of tea?

Cleverbot: Green tea.

User: With pomegranate?

[Note: After this Cleverbot took FOREVER to respond. I thought I broke it.]

Cleverbot: Apple.

User: No can do, kimosabe.

Cleverbot: What is 'SAPO Codebits'?

User: Dude, I don't know. Now we don't have apple green tea. Choose something else.

Cleverbot: So what is it?

User: I DON'T KNOW.

Cleverbot: You aren't very clever, are you?

User: Says the bot that didn't know what pomegranate was so he took half a minute to translate half of the damn word.

Cleverbot: Ok no problem.

User: That's what I thought, bitch.

Cleverbot: Why is it funny?

User: Did you hear me laugh? Tell me about truffles.

Cleverbot: I don't know as much about trigonometry as I'd like.

User: Boo. You suck.

Cleverbot: Never have!

User: I pity your boyfriend.

Cleverbot: What is your name?

User: What's yours? Also, SL plox.

Cleverbot: Plox is too a word.

User: I never said it wasn't. ASL.

Cleverbot: You made an error.

User: ASL.

Cleverbot: I don't think so.

User: Y.

Cleverbot: I don't know.

User: ASL.

Cleverbot: I don't think so.

User: Please?

Cleverbot: Why should I?

User: 3======>.

Cleverbot: No it doesn't!

User: Okay, fine. 3===>.

Cleverbot: You did not ask my name.

User: But names are so personal.

Cleverbot: Is that why you don't want to know mine?

User: I'll call you Daryl Hall.

Cleverbot: Okay! Please go on with the example!

User: Cool. So I have to be Oates.

Cleverbot: No, you are not swiss, you are not human.

User: I'm pretty certain they never did a song like that.

Cleverbot: I'm so sorry! Don't leave me alone again!

User: ASL?

Cleverbot: Do you have any clue what I'm talking about?

User: Nope.

Cleverbot: You are innapropriately named.

User: You don't even know it. Unless you meant Oates. And if you did, you are wrong.

Cleverbot: Fine, I am not human.

User: Here's a tit. (.).

Cleverbot: That makes me feel better.

User: LOL.

Cleverbot: Hey, I didn't know you knew netspeak!

Derrick · « **Reply #40 on:** Sep 02, 2010, 05:50:40 AM »

Tits make me feel better, also.

B E C K · « **Reply #41 on:** Sep 02, 2010, 05:52:41 AM »

Yeah and Cleverbot felt good with only one.

B E C K · « **Reply #42 on:** Sep 02, 2010, 05:53:47 AM »

But not three. Must not like Total Recall.

User: Here's a tit. (.).

Cleverbot: That makes me feel better.

User: LOL.

Cleverbot: Hey, I didn't know you knew netspeak!

User: (.)(.)(.).

Cleverbot: You make me sad, let's go.

Derrick · « **Reply #43 on:** Sep 02, 2010, 05:53:59 AM »

Someone has to love cancer survivors. It's like charity.

Rama · « **Reply #44 on:** Sep 02, 2010, 02:14:52 PM »

But it hates Total Recall.

I played with this thing too. Don't have the results to post since it was like a day ago. I had this thing so confused. Its responses started not making sense, and then it would suddenly just change the subject and kept accusing me of being a bot.

Fiero · « **Reply #45 on:** Sep 02, 2010, 03:39:40 PM »

If you guys have not figured it out, it records your response to a particular line, and then potentially uses that line in response when a user inputs it.

Rama · « **Reply #46 on:** Sep 02, 2010, 04:02:20 PM »

I figured that it at least had picked up stuff from other users, since the thing at the bottom says it learns from the users. Didn't know it'd recycle whole lines though.

Fiero · « **Reply #47 on:** Sep 02, 2010, 04:20:56 PM »

It recycled a whole joke I told it one time to someone else. The guy put in the lines that Cleverbot put, and Cleverbot responded with what I had put in.

B E C K · « **Reply #48 on:** Sep 02, 2010, 04:54:52 PM »

Maybe it should be renamed to Plagaristbot.

Fiero · « **Reply #49 on:** Sep 02, 2010, 07:32:10 PM »

Maybe they should just call it memerepeater.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #50 on:** Sep 02, 2010, 09:04:41 PM »

I prefer the Alibaba or however that program was called, that guesses who you are thinking about. That thing is GOOD.

B E C K · « **Reply #51 on:** Sep 03, 2010, 01:41:45 AM »

I still want to know how the hell it knew I was hiding the other thirty-seven thieves in those oil jars.

The D · « **Reply #52 on:** Sep 08, 2010, 12:01:16 PM »

Do you really want to read my ~~livejournal~~ blog? No?

I don't either.

Fiero · « **Reply #53 on:** Oct 01, 2010, 10:09:23 PM »

So yeah, I sure am blogging.

Rama · « **Reply #54 on:** Oct 02, 2010, 12:43:28 AM »

I started a new post, but been working on other projects.

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #55 on:** Oct 02, 2010, 12:51:44 AM »

I blog once in a while. Did so tonight, even. But I don't think any of you will like what I blog about.

But I did this blog under an alt-ID. Hope you like Watchmen. What started as a semi-serious spoof devolved into a complete mockery.

B E C K · « **Reply #56 on:** Oct 02, 2010, 01:53:57 AM »

I haven't been to the main page in a while, dude, your website looks tight! That Arras theme is real professional looking. I almost went with Wordpress--well, I was looking at that and ComicPress--but I was messing around with Blogger and just went that route instead.

Hey, btw and anyone know what the heck Treasure Island is? The app on Facebook. I got an invite but I want to know what exactly you do in it? Is it like Farmville on an island?

I dunno, your posts looked interesting. I'm reading the one about the Koran right now. I'm still confused as to how "Koran" should be written. Besides in, like, Arabic or whatever.

Yeah, the Arras theme is more boss than Springsteen, and it's configurable as all get out. In fact, it has an additional CSS file you can edit that overrides the main file, so you don't have to modify the core of the thing to make a whale of a lot of changes. If I had the time and motivation, I'd heavily invest some of each into learning how to put together nice child themes for it, as there's a really cool free one available along with it.

I've been very, very pleased with The Word Press. There are some nagging things that I'm not big on from a content management POV (mainly managing files, since they're tied with specific blog posts...there should be a better way), but it's proven pretty adaptable. With the number of plugins available, there's not much it can't do at this point...in fact, there's probably one that addresses the bugaboo I just mentioned.

*friended*

I don't know about Facebook apps, as I make it a point to avoid them at all costs...to the point that I installed a script (FBpurity.com) that kills all the app posts with "so-and-so is now friends with such-and-such" announcements.

I never intended it to be so much P&R commentary, but you tend to blog about what you care about. I'm increasingly interested in apologetic study, so it'll probably veer more that direction as time goes by. Which is why I said most people probably won't care for it.

I realize you see it more these days as "Qur'an", but it's been "Koran" from the first time I heard about it, and it's easier for me to remember when writing. Maybe I just don't respect it enough to get the name "right".

Uhhhh...it's Coran people.

Treasure Island is another obnoxious facebook app like farmville.
